"too much shouting and name-calling, and not enough thoughtful debate."

Sometimes I think that can be pretty entertaining, but some posters are really rude, without provocation.

"The anonymity and the distance of the internet make people behave far worse than their mothers taught them to behave."

Yeah, kind of like how people in their cars often seem to think that they're anonymous or something. Some folks think that while they're behind the wheel, they're not accountable for their behavior.

You know, that's why I put one of those Christian fish on my car! I may be a terrible person, but I'm going to try my hardest not to embarrass my Lord! If I have a fish on my car, people are not only going to judge me by my behavior, but also what I claim to espouse.

It's getting to the point with me that I don't even bother to read the comments after the initial post. They just make me angry.

Today I hardly even looked at the news side. I'm not sure, though, if that's because I'm disenchanted with the fighting, or if it's just that I'm becoming less and less interested in "news".
